Psalms 63
63
Psalm 63#In Hebrew texts 63:1-11 is numbered 63:2-12.
A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.
1You, God, are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.
2I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
3Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
4I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
6On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.
7Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8I cling to you;
your right hand upholds me.
9Those who want to kill me will be destroyed;
they will go down to the depths of the earth.
10They will be given over to the sword
and become food for jackals.
11But the king will rejoice in God;
all who swear by God will glory in him,
while the mouths of liars will be silenced.

Tehillim (Psa) 63
63
1A psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Y’hudah:
2O God, you are my God;
I will seek you eagerly.
My heart thirsts for you,
my body longs for you
in a land parched and exhausted,
where no water can be found.
3I used to contemplate you in the sanctuary,
seeing your power and glory;
4for your grace is better than life.
My lips will worship you.
5Yes, I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands.
6I am as satisfied as with rich food;
my mouth praises you with joy on my lips
7when I remember you on my bed
and meditate on you in the night watches.
8For you have been my help;
in the shadow of your wings I rejoice;
9my heart clings to you;
your right hand supports me.
10But those who seek to destroy my life —
may they go to the lowest parts of the earth.
11May they be given over to the power of the sword;
may they become prey for jackals.
12But the king will rejoice in God.
Everyone who swears by him will exult,
for the mouths of liars will be silenced.
